The use of APIs has allowed organizations to innovate faster, deliver improved customer experiences and compete in new markets. The challenge with such explosive growth of API usage is that APIs connect the world and provide access to organizations’ most sensitive data. This has left organizations trying to defend against an increasing attack surface and new attacks that have been introduced. In the last 12 months, API attacks increased in frequency by 681%.
